smelt

Stochastic, Modular, and Extensible Library for Time histories

smelt is a modular and extensible C++ library for stochastically generating time histories for various natural hazard scenarios. The library interface is designed to make it easy to add new models that require varying inputs while still providing the same output—a time history of some value, whether it is ground acceleration during seismic shaking or a wind velocity profile. These outputs are provided in JSON format to make them portable. This is also the current format used to pass data between NHERI SimCenter applications; however, this can be changed as necessary.

Build Guide

This is a detailed guide on what is required to build smelt on different systems.
